Irf

IRF, set up by Edward Blad in 2016, has built the largest group of high-quality and differentiated Independent Research and Alternative Data Providers globally. Investors increasingly want access to Independent resources, which are free from conflicts of interest and have exclusive client bases. The IRF team understand Investor requirements and are therefore able to continually make successful introductions which ultimately improve return’s. IRF regularly hosts group calls and conferences to promote Providers and allow investors to hear their latest views. Speakers include Niall Ferguson / Greenmantle, Gerard Minack / Minack Advisors, Julian Brigden / Mi2, James Aitken / Aitken Advisors and Mark Hiley / The Analyst. Successful introductions have led to subscriptions, bespoke work and training. Investors include Hedge funds, Mutual funds, Pension Funds, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Family Offices and Wealth Managers and come from around the globe including UK, US, Europe, Brazil, Australia, Hong Kong and South Africa.
